Geocache Description:

Padman park is a short drive along the Riverina Highway from the main area of Albury, or perhaps a nice stroll along the walk/bike path next to the Murry River.

A bit of history first

The first European settlement of West Albury was in late 19th century in Padman Park. The small, (19 house) settlement here were on mining licences, for the Monument Hill quarry. Padman Park was cleared, the area on the river known as McKenzies flat was grazed and several fruit orchards were grown. The houses were eventually abandoned, the last one being bulldozed in the 1970s.

Now for the good bit, the cache is an unusual camouflaged, sistema container. It is big enough only to hold smallish swaps and trackables. Perhaps the best way to open it is upside down, please be gentle with the container. Enjoy
